The hypocrisy of the Labor Party's position has not yet dawned on me. They're talking down the Australian economy, yet only six weeks ago they took $387 billion of higher taxes to the Australian people. Their solution for the economy was higher taxes. We are all about lower taxes, encouraging aspiration, providing reward for effort and tackling bracket creep. Our tax cuts, laid out in the budget, endorsed by the Australian people, should now be supported by this parliament in full. The Labor Party have been exposed as being the party of higher taxes. They've always been the party of higher taxes; they will always be the party of higher taxes.
